Pelee 2016
So, who is planning on doing Pelee this fall. I'm just confirming some reservations but if they line up I will be doing the 2nd main hunt.
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

Same here, might be a neat trip to make.

I think that a small/medium flushing dog is actually best for that cover. You will have a blast.

I've trained with a fellow that has a pair of cockers (black, the right colour even) and he told me that its a blast with them. He said they get into the real nasty stuff that the bigger dogs miss. I'd love to try it out.

I'm likely taking this season off, my dog is recovering very well after TPLO but the Pelee hunt is a lot to ask of him.

He's right. It's not that the pointers miss anything they don't it's that the little flushers get them in the air easier. Some of those fence rows are ancient and like barbed wire so the gunner has to go in and flush while the pointing dog is locked on a picture perfect point 20 yds away grinning..... I will always be a pointing dog guy but the cover at Pelee is best served by cockers and Springers.

Smart move. The ground on Pelee is very hard and that is harder on a dog than we think because it's easier on us.

Definitely a fun hunt! Speaking of cockers, last time I was there I saw an elderly gentleman with a tiny black cocker and he was cleaning house! Was slowly working a thick covered fence and was putting up roosters one by one ... Loved watching the little guy work hard.
Would go if I could but family obligations and budget will limit me to local hunting for this year. Have fun to all of you that can make it out!

Has too much time on their hands
Probably not this year because my Springer will be nursing pups around that time.
